Vanessa Hudgens & Julianne Hough Cast In Fox's Grease Live Musical

Julianne will play Sandy Olsson alongside Vanessa as her classmate and rival Rizzo, with Sandy's love interest Danny Zuko yet to be cast.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Fox promises to "re-imagine the hit crossover musical for an entirely new generation."

"Grease is one of the movies that made me want to be an entertainer, and I have literally been waiting my whole life to play Sandy," Julianne said.

"My siblings and I watched it and played it out over and over when we were kids. This is my dream role and performing it live on television will be one of the most thrilling opportunities I've had in my career so far."

Vanessa added: "Being Rizzo is something I've never imagined, and I love that because it will be a new challenge. She is such an iconic character that continues to transcend generations. I cannot wait to bring her to life on live television. I'm going to be a Pink Lady!"
